MICHELE MCSHERRY

Hello ,

Happy New Year and welcome to 2009. The holidays are now behind us and it's time to re-focus on business again.

With so much uncertainty with the economy - and a new United States President taking office - the next 12 months will prove very interesting for us.

   

Having lived and worked in the US for 12 years, and still working with US manufactured products, I keep a keen eye on what's happening over there and the impact it has on Australia.

The good news is the software business remains steady, development on Timeslips and other products I work with is continuing and many businesses stateside and here at home are still seeing the benefits of implementing a new front or back office solution. Plus many are upgrading to stay up to date with modern technology. I believe this will continue as it's important, particularly now, to keep your finger on the pulse of what's happening in your business.

With this is mind, I encourage you to look at how effectively you're utilising Timeslips in your office. The data you capture in Timeslips is a gold mine for your business. Take advantage of over 100 built-in reports to analyse what is happening and help you to make key business decisions.

I look forward to working you in 2009 and as always, if you have any questions please email them through or call me on
+61 7 4053 3800.

- Michele

Timeslips 2009 Feature Review - Timekeeper Contributions and Collections Report

     
 

This report allows you to summarise information for timekeepers in your firm.

Use this report to track totals throughout the billing cycle for each timekeeper such as work in process, amounts billed, payments received, and write offs. You can also break down these totals further by client.

This is a very handy report as it displays information that you would normally have to run several reports to capture.

Please note that Timeslips cannot break down cost information for individual timekeepers on invoices generated prior to Timeslips 2009. Cost information for these invoices will be included in the "unassigned" row at the bottom of the report.

Are you maximising the capabilities of Timeslips in your office?

     
 

Is your firm double handling timesheets because your staff are not trained on how to enter time directly into Timeslips?

Double handling of timesheets only leads to mistakes and it's an expense to the firm to have someone re-key the data. Consider training your staff to input their own time on a daily basis and then utilise the Timeslips reports or the Timeslips dashboard to monitor their billable v non-billable time daily.

There are many more ways Timeslips can help your firm to be more productive and more profitable.

Please email or call to arrange a time to discuss how to better utilise Timeslips in your firm.

Quick Tip - Did you know you can set the Default Tab Order on a Slip?

 
When you are entering data in Timeslips you can press the Tab key to move from field to field in most areas. The order in which Timeslips moves through these fields is called the tab order. Most applications set the tab order to reflect the order of fields on the dialog box.
When you enter slips, the Tab key moves the focus through each slip field. However, you may prefer a customised tab order for the way that you enter data on slips. You can customise this tab order so that each time you press the Tab key, Timeslips will highlight slip fields according to your priorities.
You can use the settings on the Slips page of the Personal Preferences dialog box to customise the tab order for slip fields.
